John 10:10 - The Abundant Life!

John 10:10 (NKJV) I have come that they may 
have life, and that they may have it more 
abundantly.  

John 10:10 (MSG) I came so they can have 
real and eternal life, more and better life than 
they ever dreamed of.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

Life During Life
   An interest in life on Mars seems to run 
in cycles. At this writing, our nation has a 
new exploration robot prowling around and 
digging little holes in the dirt near the Martian 
north pole. 
   A few years ago, I was even interviewed 
for an article about life on other planets. I 
said, "I don't see anything in the Bible that 
would indicate there is life on other planets, but 
if there is, God created it." They closed the 
article with another of my statements: "Maybe we 
shouldn't be so worried about life on other planets 
and ask ourselves the question, 'Is there life 
on Earth, and are we living it the way God 
wants us to?'" 
   We often wonder whether there is life 
after death. But is there life during life? That 
is a question we all should consider. 
   When I was seventeen, that was my 
question. I wasn't so concerned with what happened 
beyond the grave at that age because I thought I 
would live a long, long time. My primary concern 
at that time was, "What's life all about? 
What's the purpose of life?" I knew in my heart 
there had to be more than what I'd experienced to 
that point. I was desperately searching for some 
kind of meaning in life. I just had to know. 
   Thankfully, I didn't have to look very 
far because there was a group of very outspoken 
Christians on my high school campus. They practiced 
what they preached, and I was intrigued by them. 
So I began to watch them. I saw that they were 
experiencing a dimension of life that I had never known. 
Not long after that, I gave my life to Jesus and 
discovered the truth of Jesus' great statement from 
John 10:10: "I have come that they may have life, 
and that they may have it more abundantly." 
That's what I had been searching for: life during 
life. 
   Ask the Lord to point you toward someone 
today who may be searching for that very thing.
